Subject: XDI TC Unofficial Telecon Notes: Monday 2017-09-18
Following are the notes of the unofficial telecon of the XDI TC held on:
Date: Monday, 18 September 2017 USA
Time: 9:00AM - 10:00AM Pacific Time (16:00-17:00 UTC)
The TC operates under a standing rule approved 17 July 2008 under which the TC does not hold regular official meetings and conducts all business by electronic ballot only. Unofficial weekly meetings are held to enable discussion among members but no business is conducted nor actions taken.
Drummond Reed
Markus Sabadello
Phil Windley
Markus has been working on integrating DIDs and the Decentralized Identity Foundation’s (DIF) “Universal Resolver”, in order to build XDI link contracts, messaging, and data sharing on top of this new registration and discovery infrastructure.
Markus demonstrated how a Universal Resolver (such as the one developed by DIF) can be used to resolve "btcr" and "sov" DIDs (and other identifiers) in a uniform way, in order to discover cryptographic information and service endpoints (e.g. XDI). For example, this screenshot shows XDI endpoints associated with two different DIDs:
This DID resolution infrastructure can then be used as a basis for deploying an XDI data sharing and messaging network on top. This is work in progress. The following screenshot shows a "traditional" XDI discovery process based on DIDs:
Drummond had conversations about the use of XDI with DIDs and verifiable claims infrastructure at FedID this past week. He continues to investigate the potential for using XDI graphs and the XDI protocol for DKMS key management.
The next call will be the following week at the usual time (Monday 9AM PT). The link where agenda items can be posted for the next meeting is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19oDl0lbb56Grehx2a5flZnhrgnua5l8cVvC_dJ8fTXk/edit?usp=sharing
